Check Out These Three Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing

Plumbing systems are delicate and require a professional to handle them. Although some homeowners may want to try and solve or repair their plumbing problems, it may not be possible without causing further damage.

Before homeowners can decide what to do about their plumbing issue, they must understand the FAQs and answers!

What Are The Most Common Plumbing Problems?drain

The most common plumbing problems rapidly develop because of non-flushable items. Hair is the biggest culprit that gets stuck in drains. Clogged drains cause backups in both the kitchen and the bathroom. For the kitchen, if the clog is severe, a professional plumber needs to be the one to fix it. While Homeowners can buy a snake to take out hair and other items, some are not large enough. It is recommended to schedule a clogged drain repair if the water isn't draining.

Another common plumbing problem is a burst pipe. A pipe bursts when the temperature suddenly drops to below freezing levels, and a homeowner's pipes are not prepared. 

If the pipe is exposed, the freezing temperature can cause the water to freeze, which breaks down the pipes. Without insulation, it is hard to prevent a burst pipe. Homeowners need to call an emergency plumbing service company for burst pipe repair.

callWhen Should Homeowners Call a Plumber for Repairs?

It's hard to figure out the right time to call a plumber for repairs. However, service technicians recommend calling a plumber if there is damage to the toilet or sink. Since toilets are linked to the sewer line, one crack can cause a flood and backup of sewage.

Homeowners should call plumbers for toilet repair or sewer line repair. DIY solutions can do more harm than good in these situations. It is also dangerous to deal with a gas leak. Plumbers can do a gas leak detection test and a gas line repair.

How Can Homeowners Prevent Plumbing Problems at home?

There are various ways to prevent plumbing problems at home. Homeowners can buy devices that block items from falling into the drain. It makes it easier to clean the pipes. There are also chemicals that homeowners can use for regular drain cleaning.

It is also important to schedule plumbing maintenance at least twice a year. This way, any problems are detected before the damage is too severe. Water pipes underground can sustain damage from small things like weather and tree roots. However, a plumbing technician can quickly and easily replace water pipes if they spot them right away. Homeowners should look for early signs like backups and puddles of water in the front or backyard.
